We are working on a platform that allows us to make engineering heart tissues (EHT). This platform combines biology, microfabrication technics, image processing and electrical stimulation.
We developed a setup in a 12-well plate format in which we can electrically stimulate the tissues with different frequencies during short periods of time, one well at a time. Now we are currently working on parallel electrical stimulations during long periods of time. For that, we need to characterize the electrical behavior of the tissues.
You will be in charge of
- Making an electrical model of the tissues.
- Stablish the electrical limits of the model.
- Compare the biological behavior of the tissues with the electrical model during long periods of time.
